A night before the Annual Ball:
Zhao Min was sleeping soundly when suddenly his eyes snapped open and he shot up in bed.Though the room was not overly warm,Zhao min was soaked in sweat and his hands were trembling.His eyes were widened in horror and he looked one and around the bed wildly.He had woken up from the grip of a nightmare and at a loss and disoriented about where he was.It all came rushing back when he realized he was sleeping in Ru's room.Butt in the next moment,biz breath stopped short because Xin Xin was not there in her cot!All sorts of scary thoughts ran through his head and opening the door,he ran outside only to stop short at the scene before him.Ru's mother was cradling Xin in her arms and rocking her to sleep.He felt his throat clog at the sight.His mother used to put Xin xin to sleep like that. He must have made some sound to attract her attention,because she suddenly turned to stare at him.
